I love this song, mostly because it sounds so intentionally disorienting, with the horns holding out on whatever notes they feel like, the strings and woodwinds dramatically stinging, the drums being somewhat steady, with everything getting more and more stressful and frantic as it goes on. This may not be my favorite piece, but props to Benjamin Bartlett for creating such incredible soundtracks for the Walking With series.
The part with the liopleurodons, the part with the turtle and the part with the pod of alive leedsichthys are easily more terrifying than any horror movie today.
What most modern horror movies forget is how to create horror. They focus too much on the monster and the victim, the thing that makes horror horrifying is the atmosphere. This scene would be nothing if it was just Nigel and a big monster. It is the fact that Nigel is helplessly floating in an endless void, absolutely out of his element, faced by two creatures that could definitly tear him to shreads if they wanted to. In the other seas he at least had a cage, an electric prod or something that could help him if the situation got dire. The one between him and certain death was a suit that can MAYBE save his live. Its the utter helplesness and insignificance of Nigel that makes the scene a horror to behold.
This "sea" was my favorite as a kid. I loved the reuse of the WWD Liopleurodon and the creative use of the smell suit, as well as the contrast between the (relatively) peaceful filter-feeder scene and this absolutely terrifying sequence. I hope BBC can make something else as awesome as this series someday.
This song is so spooky, It sounds exactly how it feels to watch two bigger creatures attack a prey item or eachother as a smaller creature- and then when the drums and shakers kick in is when they nearly step or land on you and you have to run to avoid getting crushed
What bugged me the most about this moment was how small the bites were that the liopleurodon were making in the leedsycthys carcass, they appeared more like pinches
This music is absolutely incredible. It would work just as well if it was a swarm of accurately-sized Liopluerodon swimming out of the darkness to feast.
in the first part of tarck, the 0:00 - 0:30 the music is eerie, but calm, like liopleurodons evaluate their prey, but then, after the 0:30 reptiles taste the leedsichtys`s flesh and losing their mind, just tearing the leedsichtys body apart
Me acuerdo que ver la escena en la que los liopleurodon devoran al leedsichthys en la oscuridad me daba miedo y fascinaba al mismo tiempo, una escena que no cualquiera con thalassophobia podría ver
ok gosh i love this track as mixed in you can hear a revised version of the theme from the WWD big al special but more menacing, and it's a nice call back since this part takes place in the jurassic (the same time as big al)
Many years have passed, even from this particular video, but this will allways be my favourite "sea" from the series. We might not have a 25 meters liopleurodon, but the closest thing we can get to that is the Sachicasaurus vitae from the cretaceous.
@@Mr.W.Megalodon. kronosaurus was from the cretaceous, the very very early cretaceous, and it was light lighter than sachicasaurus, from the jurassic it could be that huge ass pliosaurus thing that isnt confirmed yet.
@@Mr.W.Megalodon. the 15 meter 45 ton reconstruction is now outdated, it wasnt tha big, theres also an unnamed piosaurid specimen that may or may not have weighed 17 tons, but it's unsure
It was 27 to perhaps 30m. I've heard in a rare book it mentions the 2 Lios in the feeding frenzy are 18-20m but the one nigel catches on sonar was over 25m....
this music combined with the heavy impacts of the Liopleurodons slamming into the Leedsichthys to bite made this so much more intense

Now I’m curious as to which one is your favourite
@@dylangillespie1976 It's a tie between The Most Dangerous Sea of all Time and A Hungry Cymbospondylus
You can say that again! Its beyond any doubt one of the most memorable tracks for a sequence, ever so fitting.
The part with the liopleurodons, the part with the turtle and the part with the pod of alive leedsichthys are easily more terrifying than any horror movie today.
You can say that again! I hope they make more documentaries as engaging as this in the future!

This sea is still my favorite today. Nothing can beat behemoth liopleurodons tearing into a giant fish in pitch darkness!
@@bradyonyx174 too bad it actualy werent thta big
@Science edu well yeah like kilelr whales or white sharks does to whales
Don't worry Nigel, they're CGI, they can't hurt you.
I think some were props (dead leedsichthys) or animatronics for some close up scenes (liopleurodon and yes some were CGI)
mosasaurus pod: are you sure about that?
That’s just what the CGI wants you to think
Quite convincing CGI for the time!
@@knightofarkronia8652 Agreed.
2:33 He is coming in so close ah! Thank goodness the smell suit worked it is time to get out of there!
"Hold on Nigel, we're not done yet..."
Imagine diving in the dark ocean in midnight and start hearing this....
Return to the boat before they notice you!!!!!
That’d be pure nightmare fuel.

it ́s a liopleurodon charlie.
Not just Charlie, there’s Becky and Seth which is the other two liopleurodon who were also eating the Leedsicthyes
Let the feast begin my children
Why this remind me to attack on titan manga
What bugged me the most about this moment was how small the bites were that the liopleurodon were making in the leedsycthys carcass, they appeared more like pinches
Glad to know I wasn’t the only one to always notice that as well.
"I'm just 20 feet away from a feeding frenzy, and some really ferocious sea reptiles, but i am *petrified* watching this!"
What's frightening is your PFP isn't much smaller than these leviathan's...
this track has such a sinister tone to it.
Liopleurodon Boss Fight
First boss o final boss?
@@El_Desller Probably second to final boss. The Mosasaurs were the true final bosses
@@mynameisnotjonas3219 oh you mean the Tylosaurus? Yeah those are the final boss fights
@Science edu those have been synonomized with Tylosaurus in recent years
there we go, that's the one, ahhhhhhhh, the nostalgia of terrified 7 year old me, thank you random internet person for sharing this with the class.
MA GI CAL LEO PLURODON!
This music is absolutely incredible. It would work just as well if it was a swarm of accurately-sized Liopluerodon swimming out of the darkness to feast.
What would be worster? Two 25-meter liopleurodon or five 6-meter liopleurodon?
“Hang on Nigel we’re not done yet”.
"This is vast! Oh, I am so glad the film camera's in! Nobody would believe me back at home!"
I can't believe I actually listening it. Well done, comrades! After many years, finally!

God, that track freaks me out.

I remember this guys from The Land Before Time: Journey To The Big Water.
Terrifying but absolutely magnificent
Definitely fit some of the fiercest sea reptiles of their age.
Good thing Nigel didn’t use the shark repellent
20 feet?....oh hell no i want my 60 foot behemoth back #makeliplerodongreatagain
Sorry. but accurate size Lio rules
#resizedLiopleurodonforthewin
Luckily for you, Kronosaurus can potentially reach 60 feet but for now it’s the largest Pliosaur at 45 feet and 12 tons
Resized Liopleurodon is more terrifying, especially since would hqve more likely viewed humans as food at that size had it been alive today!
Predator X
@@Melanosuchusss Pliosaurus Funkei (also known as Predator X) is also one of the bigger Pliosaurs, reaching similar lengths to Kronosaurus.
ok gosh i love this track as mixed in you can hear a revised version of the theme from the WWD big al special but more menacing, and it's a nice call back since this part takes place in the jurassic (the same time as big al)
Good theme for my teacher when i didn't made my homework...

JURASSIC ORCA LIOPLEURODON
Many years have passed, even from this particular video, but this will allways be my favourite "sea" from the series.
We might not have a 25 meters liopleurodon, but the closest thing we can get to that is the Sachicasaurus vitae from the cretaceous.
in jurassic instead of liopleurodon can be kronosaurus or any other big jurassic pliosaur
@@Mr.W.Megalodon. kronosaurus was from the cretaceous, the very very early cretaceous, and it was light lighter than sachicasaurus, from the jurassic it could be that huge ass pliosaurus thing that isnt confirmed yet.
@@BeegRanho then pliosaurus funkei
@@BeegRanhowhat about pliosaurus funkei?
@@Mr.W.Megalodon. the 15 meter 45 ton reconstruction is now outdated, it wasnt tha big, theres also an unnamed piosaurid specimen that may or may not have weighed 17 tons, but it's unsure
This is scarier than the infamous Jaws-theme
They should make a horrorfilm about Liopleurodon with the inaccurate but really cool size and with Nigel Marven!
And put this theme in the movie.
ive realized something, if the WWD/CBSM Liopleurodons are 25M/80ft long... *then how big are the leedsichthys they're feeding on?*
It was 27 to perhaps 30m. I've heard in a rare book it mentions the 2 Lios in the feeding frenzy are 18-20m but the one nigel catches on sonar was over 25m....
😍😍😍
I don't remember it well, did they scale down liopleurodon's size in the episode to be more accurate?
No, I think they left it the same size
